Woodcut printer's device of Ottaviano Scotto (98 x 57 mm.), "used ... in 1483 and 1484 when he presumably did his own printing. After 1484, he acted only as publisher, and this block was later used in books printed for him by Locatelli ... The device was so closely associated with Scoto [sic] that it appears on his tombstone."--M. Harman, Printer's and publisher's devices in incunabula in the University of Illinois Library, no. 93.
